MISS DALTON WINS FOIL MEET
Miss Madeline Dalton, of the Salle d’Armes Vince, won the first of four competitions to be held for the Santelli Trophy donated by Warren Dow.
The tournament is open to all girls who have not attained a senior rank, and attracted all the top-notch juniors except Miss Carol Alessandroni and Miss Carol King.
The large field was finally narrowed down to a final of 8 and the final round-robin ended in a triple tie between Miss Dalton, Miss Barbara Cochrane of the Salle Santelli, and Mrs. Dolly Funke of the Greco Fencing Academy. Miss Dalton defeated both her rivals in the fence-off, and Miss Cochrane defeated Mrs. Funke. Miss Dalton’s fencing showed a marked improvement; her point was more accurate and she used a counter-riposte game to the best advantage. Not far behind this trio came Miss Grimmelman, N.Y.U., Miss Cerra, Vince, Miss Stewart, Hunter College, Miss Kass, Brooklyn College, and Miss Potchosky, N.Y.U.
